January sun glowing faintly through the clouds over ramp to Walt Whitman Bridge–taken from car window.
Sunlight
winter-diffused
glows above travelers
to set into the river, night
falling.

Wonderfully visual in so few words…
Thank you very much! π
Lovely, Merril…”winter-diffused” perfect!
Thank you, Jill!
Gorgeous view … delighted to see “travelers” in the lyrics – invite to vicariously slip into the backseat of one of those vehicles and gaze out at that sky! Thanks for the “trip”.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed the journey! We were on our way home from my mom’s in Philadelphia, and I took the photo (my husband was driving). π
This can be read so many ways…
Thank you for making me think.

diffusing winter

Thank you, Ken. I’m so pleased my words inspired you!
Merril, your cinquain puts me in the moment of when you snapped that photo. There is something about the January sky, a paleness that I don’t notice in other months. “Diffusing winter” is such an apt description. Love it. β€
Thank you so much, Colleen! What a lovely comment! β€
Beautiful! Both poem and photo π
Thank you so much, Marie!
This may be a Crapsey Cinquain, but it’s definitely not crappy! (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) I agree too with the other commenters’ observations. π
Thank you, Marian! π
Considering in the car, great catch β¦ and matching words, too!
Thank you, Frank.
Nicely done. I like the concept of winter diffused sunlight.
Thank you very much, Derrick.
Merril, a magical ethereal photo and poem … beautiful and atmospheric! π
Thank you so much, Annika!
Magical. It could be the sun or the moon.
A lovely post to read and re-read before bedtime! Thank you for noticing magic and beauty that many of us miss…
What a lovely comment! Thank you so much, Will!
Lovely Cinquain, Merril. π
Thank you so much, Vashti!
